Business trip
A gem of a hotel based above a pub in a quiet village setting next to a local church. Fantastic food and attentive staff. Hotel has good parking facilities

Bedroom terrible
The pub was lovely, staff were gracious and polite, evening meal and breakfast delicious. Unfortunately the condition of the bedroom was terrible due too stale water smell from the shower. Disappointingly this ruined what would have been a nice stay.

2 night business trip, room was nice, clean and comfy.
Breakfast was very nice.
Dinner was excellent but not the cheapest would have been nice to get a discount as a staying guest.
I would definitely stay again when in the area

The staff were very welcoming. I was traveling alone so decided to book the snug bedroom. I was pleasantly surprised. It was well equipped with tea and coffee facilities, large disabled access wet room. TV and an extra rad if I was cold. For the one night stay it had everything I needed. Breakfast was delicious with fresh orange juice and service you could not fault

Great food and location
A nice stay when in the area. The food is good, as are the team. I did hear some locals moaning about both, however that isn't my experience at all. The rooms are good, I had a different room this time and it's probably due for some tlc, however it was serviceable and the bed was comfy etc. The Bowl has a nice feel in a lovely location - it was a stunning evening to sit outside and dine whilst reading a book - with the bell ringing practise starting in the evening.

Country Inn with good food.
Lovely old world Inn. Lovely staff, food and location. Free parking. Comfortable bed. Steep stairs to top floor. Could do with more water pressure in the shower though.
